Very interesting to see people's emotions after rivalry games . Reading Huddle { I don't post there but read it once in a while , one forum is more than enough and I don't want to cut and paste} and this forum it is very predictable EVEN BEFORE PEOPLE post what the thmees are going to be becuase they are universal and obvious .
I admit to partaking in it on occassion as well in the past, I try not too and for the most part avoid it .
What I mean , is the indignation that " SOME " Davidson fans feel about the way Darby carried on after the game . It is as old as the tides , a championship level program that gets soundly beaten starting in on the wqay the team that kicked thier azzz celebrasted the big event. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME , Instead of just taking the infrequent loss with a modicum of class and resignination it is time to attack the lack of class of the other team in it's joy overt doing something rtare which is beat the championship level program, a team that shut them out three straight years.
Now some Davidson fans didn'[t do this of course , but to say YOUR SAINTED PROGRAM who is the beacon of all that is good and great in this nation wouold never behave that way is missinG THE POINT. you aren't in their shoes , you can't even put yourself in their position and imagine that you too would be excited may be a bit overly so if the roles were reversed?
No big deal but that sentiment coming from the all powerful program that loses only once in while isn't exactly well versed in dealing with it so they lash out and claim victory in BEING MORE CLASSY SOMEHOW , becuase they can't make a case for being better on the field on that night anyway .
Secondly , go to this week's news account of the game , isn't it usually Former Wildcat that posts them for us? { check out the last paragraph } , and you'll notice that just like back in 2007 when Brian White threw his Senior class under the bus calling them poor leaders and losers { IN PRINT AND IN NUMEROUS RADIO INTERVIEWS I HEARD WITH MY OWN EARS SO DON'T TRY TO SAY IT ISN'T TRUE I AND MANY OTHER HEARD IT 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND READ IT IN PRINT IN THE FEW YEARS AFTER THAT NON PLAY-OFF SEASON} he is back at it , he senes the team will EMBARRASS HIM , and he is lashing out at them, claiming they have poor leadership skills and that they can't even prepare properly beucase theose damn Seniors are so leadership starved, YEAH BRI THAT'S THE PROBELM, IF THEY HAD BETTER LEADERSHIP SKILLS YOU WOJULDN'T HAVE TO BLAST THEM IN THE PRESS.
Senior players most playing their last season of football ever , have worked hard for the last few years in the program and after week two they have to read that their coach blames their lack of charachter and leadertship skills and THAT'S THE REASON THE TEAM APPEARS TO BE MEDICORE THIS YEAR . I have always known that White is a poor loser { save the show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser there are degrees and he shows little to no class when losing } not being on the the sidelines for week one is evidence of that { personal fouls on the sidelines when the little kid threw a tantrum when he knew he was going to lose} , but I ahve to say that even I am surprised that it took him only two weeks to do this to his Seniors , INCREDIBLE ARROGANCE that he feels he needs to blame somehow or a group for ONE LOSS even if to a rival.
YOU MAY MEASURE THE GUY AS A WINNER and point to all those wins as evidecne of it and two one point wins in title games going for two also point to brilliance and traits of a great man, but I like to measure guys how they react when things go poorly and this guy FAILS BIG TIME . Get used to it Senior class you wil be mentioned by this great man a few more times this season as to why you got your beat , it won't be becuase may the other team had better players and more talent or simply played better than your average team that night , IT WILL BE BEUCASE YOU LACK CHARACHTER ADN LEADERSHIP , He wil sacrifice your reputation in the press in order to keep his own ego in tact.
I see a lack of leadership skills from him right now and always do whenever they lose however infrequent, but suffice to say this Senior class is going to be blasted again at some point that much I can guarentee I know the loyal followers will claim that the Seniors are the probelm and that it's jsut a coincidence that in 2007 and this year amd may be a few times in the late 90's and early 200'2 that the Seniors were the problem in EVERY year that isn't an uber successful one , that's OK I expect nothing different, but to not even raise an eyebrow over the incredibly predictable reactions to losses by this guy and his showing up good kids in the press is your choice adn one I am sure you wil make as well . We all have had tough coaches at some point who have yelled , screamed adn told people they need to be stronger charachter wise , it's motivation but not many coaches do thsi in the PRESS OR ON RADIO , that sets him apart , claiming thet they were outcoached DOESN'T MAKE UP FOR HIS LAST BLAST which you wil notice was THE LAST WORD HE WANTED YOU TO HEAR . Advice to HD Senior players, hold your heads high IT ISN'T YOUR FAULT, Your coach throwing you under the bus is a tradition of his IT'S HIS PROBELM DONT; TAKE IT PERSONAL
